Bulls name 19-man squad
Steve McNamara's forward options look set to be boosted by the return of Jamie Langley, pictured, and Chris Feather against Castleford.
The pair were both named in the Bulls' 19-man squad this afternoon for Sunday's clash at Grattan Stadium.
Great Britain loose forward Langley has been out since the win in Perpignan three weeks ago while prop Feather missed Monday's victory over Harlequins with a back problem.
The duo are much-needed, with hooker Terry Newton starting the first of a two-game ban and Joe Vagana and Glenn Morrison both on the long-term sick.
Disappointed full back Michael Platt misses the game against his former club though after he failed another fitness test on his hamstring injury this morning and Kiwi winger Tame Tupou is still struggling with a knee problem.
Bulls (from): Harris, Halley, Godwin, Feather, Jeffries, Nero, Cook, Kopczak, Tadulala, Sykes, Deacon, Evans, Hape, Lynch, Finnigan, Solomona, Langley, James, Burgess.

I (oddly) agree with LJ, we don't need Harris. IF Godwin and Deacon share the dummy half role, there's no reason to carry another Hooker.

If he is fully recovered he is a great assett but needs to be fitter than his earlier performances.

Just a quick moan but,how come our best go-forward prop,"Big Joe",isn't getting his broken arm treated in a diver's decompression chamber to speed his recovery?
If there is one player we need back,quickly,it's Joe.
Maybe he doesn't have the same media attraction as Robbie Paul,but he has been absolutely priceless for us,especially the last two seasons.

One assumes that the club doctors would have recommended that if they thought it would help. Could be it works in some situations and not others. He' a big loss.
